Fact Sheet
SC Series
Industrial High Pressure Brackish Water RO Elements
The S-Series family of proprietary thin-film reverse
osmosis membrane elements is characterized by
high sodium chloride rejection and a smooth, fouling-resistant membrane surface.
SC High Pressure Brackish Water Elements are used
for high-pressure brackish water desalination and
for treatment of wastewater streams with a high
osmotic pressure or a high level of solids.

The SC industrial elements feature a 30mil or 50mil
spacer with standard materials or polysulfone materials.
